On Saturday, Dec. 11, the NASCAR Night of Champions Touring Awards Gala
will bring together the series champions and top drivers from all seven

The banquets will be held for the first time at the Charlotte Convention

* NASCAR's touring series will take center stage on Saturday
with its Grand Champions Awards in the morning and the NASCAR Touring
